Anyone wishing to submit an article should contact John Hadden at [email protected]. May was an exciting month for the Litigation Section. We were honored to present the Logan E. Bleckley Distinguished Service Award to the Honorable T. Jackson Bedford, Jr., on May 10, 2016 at the annual Bench and Bar Reception hosted by Nelson Mulins Riley & Scarborough, LLP. The Section also rounded out the end of its monthly breakfasts and CLE with a Legislative Update on May 13, 2016 with State House Representatives Stacy Evans and Wendell Willard. The Litigation Section loves its judges and is happy to invite all judges and judicial law clerks to attend our Section events for free. We would like to give a special thanks to our Section sponsors from the 2015-2016 Board year. Without them, we would not be able to put on the wonderful programing we do or make the same impact in our community. Thank you to: Applied Technical Services Esquire Duplicating Products, Inc.
